Management of a Rare Case of Post IVF Triplet
Ectopic Pregnancy Post Bilateral Tubal Occlusion by Poonam Mishra in Womens Health_ Gynecology Open access journal
Incidence of ectopic pregnancy after Invitro fertilization and embryo
transfer (IVF-ET) in patients with prior bilateral tubal occlusion is
negligible
and if it occurs, it happens at unusual sites which are both difficult
to diagnose as well as to treat. The possibility of early uterine
rupture with life
threatening haemorrhage is very high in such cases, therefore treatment
of these pregnancies often require hysterectomy as a life saving
measure. Our
case of triplet lives ectopic pregnancy followed embryo transfer of
three blastocysts. She had undergone laparoscopic bilateral proximal
tubal occlusion
5 years ago. In this case, trans-abdominal ultrasound guided suction
evacuation was attempted unsuccessfully. Hysteroscopy followed, which
confirmed
normal endometrial cavity with no gestational sac within it. Post
adhesiolysis and bowel dissection, left sided cornual bulge was seen
suggestive of left
isthmic pregnancy. Putrescin was injected, incision made, products
evacuated, and hemostatic sutures applied. On the right side, post bowel
dissection
hydrosalpinx seen and drained followed by putrescin injection at uterine
angle. While de-roofing hydrosalpinx from the angle of uterus, products
of
conception were seen to extrude from posterior side of the uterine
musculature at the angular area, which were evacuated, and hemostatic
sutures
applied. This case highlights the importance as well as need of using a
gambit of diagnostic and operative procedures to enable treatment of
such
complicated cases successfully. This case report also highlights the
misery and complications which could follow transfer of multiple good
quality
blastocysts especially if these implant at ectopic sites.
